Dear Parents and Students
Last week, I talked about our purpose as a school and how we are passionate about equipping our students for success in the twenty-first century by bringing the best of the world to Al Khor
WHY DOES STEAM EDUCATION MATTER?
With continuing advances in the technological areas, we need to be able to keep up with the rest of the world and be competitive in these fields! As an educator, I have watched the growth and changes in these fields with excitement.
British film producer, UNICEF ambassador and educator, Lord David Puttnam shares personal insights from his childhood and the problems he faced with traditional schooling growing up. As Chairman of Nord Anglia's Education Advisory Board, Lord Puttnam envisions an education which encourages students to achieve more than they may have thought possible.
Our U12 Boys Football team played extremely well last week at their football tournament at AKIS securing a place in the finals in Doha. Well done to Mr Livesley and his team for their efforts.
Our approach to teaching the interdisciplinary subjects of STEAM is all about giving children the tools to achieve more. Through hands-on practical problem solving, interdisciplinary learning and the development of transferable skills, children can imagine a world of boundless opportunities. Nord Anglia Education is working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to introduce children to this innovative way of learning the STEAM subjects, which encourages creativity, experimentation and teaches them how to apply their skills to real-world situations
Nord Anglia International School Al Khor team up with The Girls Centre Al Khor for the best Qatar National Day celebrations to date.
Huge thank you to them and all the parents who contributed and joined us.
On Sunday 10 December, NAISAK celebrated International Day. From early morning, there was a tangible buzz throughout the campus as national groups prepared to show their country at its best. There is certainly a competitive spirit amongst us! Our courtyard was awash with various stalls, there were 21 in total, each representing one country. The area was wonderfully ablaze with national colours, symbols, cuisines and traditions.
While our Year 11s were preparing themselves to face their first Mock IGCSE week this past week, the Secondary team has been working on developing guidance on post-18 paths and establishing links with a variety of institutions, in country and abroad.
